<p>Like Lindbergh before him, Jack DuLaney was flying the Atlantic.</p>
<p>But DuLaney’s trips were off the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Guadalcanal, and his plane was one of the hottest fighter-bombers of World War II.</p>
<p>The fact that the Corsair was bigger and faster than most of its contemporaries didn’t mean it was easier or safer to fly, and the mortality prospects for pilots who attempted to land the plane on a carrier deck became a sobering reality in 1944.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-08-02/j-remembers-jack-dulaney-flew-sensitive-corsair-wwii" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-08-02/j-remembers-jack-dulaney-flew-sensitive-corsair-wwii#commentsA-J RemembersFiled onlineLifeRay WestbrookAircraft carrierContact DetailsDallasDisasterDisasterFloridaJack DuLaneyNavyPensacolaQuotationTechnologyTechnologyTexasUSS GuadalcanalVought F4U CorsairWarWarWatercraftSun, 02 Aug 2015 20:41:32 +0000Ray Westbrook227472 at http://lubbockonline.comArea Opinions: Vigilantes not needed at military centershttp://lubbockonline.com/editorials/2015-08-01/area-opinions-vigilantes-not-needed-military-centers
<p>Vigilantes not needed at military centers </p>
<p>There are minimal upsides and plenty of potentially disastrous downsides when uninvited and unwelcome citizens pose as security guards outside U.S. urban military facilities and recruitment centers. We all share a sense of outrage at the July 16 killing of five service members at a training center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but a vigilante-style response is not the answer.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/editorials/2015-08-01/area-opinions-vigilantes-not-needed-military-centers" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/editorials/2015-08-01/area-opinions-vigilantes-not-needed-military-centers#commentsEditorialsArmyCandidate PositionChattanoogaLaborLaborLubbock Avalanche-JournalPerson CareerPerson LocationSAN FRANCISCOTennesseeWarWarSat, 01 Aug 2015 05:18:54 +0000Staff227326 at http://lubbockonline.comWhat's new in the NFL?

<p>NEW YORK — Bob Dylan sang about them. So did David Bowie.</p>
<p>For 2015, the NFL is embracing the message from those musical giants. Yes, the most successful of American sports leagues is into changes.</p>
<p>Extra-point attempts have been altered. Medical timeouts are the latest player safety measure. A female on-field official has a full-time job.</p>

<p>Suspected Jewish assailants set fire to a West Bank home on Friday and burned a sleeping Palestinian toddler to death in an attack that drew Palestinian rage and widespread Israeli condemnation.

<p>WASHINGTON — After billions of dollars spent and more than 10,000 extremist fighters killed, the Islamic State group is fundamentally no weaker than it was when the U.S.-led bombing campaign began a year ago, American intelligence agencies have concluded.</p>
<p>U.S. military commanders on the ground aren’t disputing the assessment, but they point to an upcoming effort to clear the important Sunni city of Ramadi, which fell to the militants in May, as a crucial milestone.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-08-01/despite-bombing-islamic-state-no-weaker-year-ago" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-08-01/despite-bombing-islamic-state-no-weaker-year-ago#commentsWorldBY KEN DILANIANAfghanistanAmerican intelligenceAsiaAspenBarack ObamaBrig.

<p><strong>AUSTIN</strong></p>
<p>The Texas annual sales tax holiday has been set for Aug. 7-9 as children prepare to return to school.</p>
<p>The Texas Comptroller’s Office said, as in previous years, the law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from sales and use taxes. That could save anyone shopping in Texas about $8 on every $100 spent during the tax-break weekend.</p>
<p>Sales tax must still be paid on certain items, such as luggage, purses, wallets and watches.</p>

<p>BEIRUT — Turkey and the United States have agreed on the outlines of a plan to rout the Islamic State group from a strip of Syrian territory along the Turkish border — a plan that opens the possibility of a safe haven for tens of thousands of displaced Syrians but one that also sets up a potential conflict with U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces in the area.</p>
